1. a Brasilian Ch… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least six artists / acts called Jake.
1. a Brasilian Christian Axé singer
2. a rapper
3. a band from New York, NY, United StatesJake
4. a short-lived Spencer Davis Group offshoot from the United Kingdom, active in 1972
5. a Christian pop trio
6. Jake E. Blues from The Blues Brothers
7. Jake Barton, a milk-punk musician
1. Jake was born in São Paulo - SP and started her musical life in the catholic universe as a teenager. Born on a catholic family , acted with the youth in artistic manifestations of the church, school and neighborhood. It was her admiration for the music, specially MPB (Brazilian Popular Music). Her vocal timbre led to the rhythms from the northeast and Jake was realizing she could turn her love and enjoyment of music into something serious. In December 2006 Jake launched her first Catholic Axé CD, bringing the public a revolutionary attitude, compared to the catholics' standards. But the paulistan soon conquered the public, showing her joy and irreverence. Currently Jake travels throughout Brazil taking her show to major micaretas and events. One of the successes of her CD, "Pó Pará Com o Pó" was one of the hits of carnival 2009. Jake enters the national music scene with his right foot, showing that those who have faith, also has axé.
2. Jake (The Rapper) = Jacob Dove Basker. Born in 1970 in the Bronx. Jake left America in 1990 to get a different perspective on the first gulf war. Jake started rapping in 1992 as his alter ego M.C. Eye, at a time when white rappers were still pariahs (with very few exceptions- ones like MC 900 Ft Jesus… hmm, does anyone else see a spiritual likeness between these two?), first under the patronage of the tough gals of drum and bass, “Die Patinnen”, then with the “Jonas Schoen Sextett” and as the leader of the Jazz rap combo “M.C. Eye & Blind Jazz”.
But it was in the Hamburg hiphop training camp “Trainingslager” that Jake learned to freestyle from his mentor/buddy/adopted son Mad Maxamom. The cross-styling also started soon thereafter, also with Max and with beatboxer Mark Boombastik in a band called “No Berlin No”, a trashpunkmetalrap band that made it a rule never to practice and still managed to entertain guests on stage like Peaches, Gonzales, and Maxwell from the “Meteorites”. Mark is seen again with Felix Kubin in Jake’s “other” band, “Anaerobic Robots”, of which the studio recordings still lie dormant on Felix’s hard drive.
Seeing as how Jake hails from the incubator of modern capitalism, it makes perfect sense that he let himself be playfully marketed as a product two years ago. The design agency Redesigndeutschland chose Jake as their guerilla-marketing posterboy ands attempted harbinger of peace (drop beats, not bombs), thus jettisoning him to regional fame, and eventually a damned record deal! Many concerts later people wearing Jake masks in Hamburg and Berlin were no rare occurrence (in one case every member of the band “Plokk” performed wearing them). It was actually a time when both cities were pitching for the privilege of presenting our portly protagonist, but in the end another was to win: Dusseldorf, home of Combination Records, that offered to not only satisfy our rolling rogue with copies of his own record, but to supply fans all over the world with his long awaited tour de force.
3. From (http://www.jakerocks.com/)
Jake is a NY band consisting of Jessie Lee Montague and John Annese. Jake is a dynamic, street-smart New York band that has created its own unique blend of modern rock and bluesy americana. From growling rock to soulful, sultry tunes that stir the imagination, front-woman Jessie Lee Montague’s beguiling, feline vocals and emotive lyrics pull it all together. After releasing their debut CD (Hooked) on Atlantic’s Blackbird Records, the band has achieved critical acclaim and a steadily growing regional following with Bloodblue and Snake Road, which they released on their own Desert Dog Records.
4. Ex-Spencer Davis Group members Eddie Hardin and Pete York spent most of the early 1970s working together as a duo. They also did occasional other projects, including a solo album each in 1972. In early April 1972 they also issued a single for the Deram label under the moniker Jake: 'And in the Morning' b/w 'You and Me'. Ex-Spencer Davis Group guitarist Ray Fenwick worked with them on this single.
5. Jake, the Christian pop/rock band, consisted of three brothers (Toby, Marty, and Josh Penner). They named their band after their dad. One could call them a boyband, but unlike many others in their genre they were songwriters, played their own instruments, and had a hand in the production. They were signed to Reunion Records and released two albums on the label, Jake (2000) and Army of Love (2002), before asking to be released from their contract after the second release. Toby Penner currently heads a band called TAP.
6. John Adam Belushi (January 24, 1949 – March 5, 1982) a.k.a. "Joliet" Jake E. Blues from The Blues Brothers was an American comedian, actor and musician, notable for his work on Saturday Night Live, National Lampoon's Animal House and The Blues Brothers. He was the brother of Jim Belushi.
Since the early-mid 1990s, The Blues Brothers band has re-united, and played on. They are sometimes joined by Dan Aykroyd on vocals, other times by various sound alike singers. The members had many recording sessions at the famous Cherokee Studios with Bruce Robb (producer) and Steve Cropper. John's brother James Belushi toured with the band for a short time. He recorded the album Blues Brothers & Friends: LIVE! From Chicago's H.O.B with Dan Aykroyd but he did not appear in Blues Brothers 2000 (1998). It's rumored he was approached to play not the role of Mighty Mack (played by John Goodman) but the role of the local Sheriff Chamberlain (the part played by Joe Morton). Jim would later reunite with Aykroyd to record yet another album, not as the Blues Brothers but as themselves: 'BELUSHI/AYKROYD -"Have Love Will Travel (Big Men-Big Music)"'.
7. Jake Barton is an experimental milk-punk musician from Kansas. He is best known for being the creator of characters bubbo and dinky.
Believer
Jake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only in my dreams
I've never been willing to give up my heart
Or let myself believe
But I have been waiting all of my life
Just for tonight
And this time I'm hoping, holding out for you
To let me see the light
[Chorus]
Make me a believer for once in my life
Right here and now
Touch me somehow
Let it be tonight
It's all on the line
I'm down on my knees
I don't know how but I'm ready to see
Clear every shadow of doubt in my mind
'Cause I want to believe
I've been sitting here staring at the rain
All alone tonight
Something about you is making me smile
With tears in my eyes
Maybe you've noticed, maybe you can tell
What's happening to me
When you say my name and touch my heart again
It's making me believe
Why can't this be one of the times
When I can see with open eyes
Shine your light
I'll never forget for the rest of my life
[Chorus]

However, they admit to waiting their whole life for someone like the addressee, and they're willing to take a chance on this person. The chorus is the highlight of the song, with the singer imploring the addressee to "make me a believer" and "clear every shadow of doubt in my mind." They're down on their knees, ready to see, and hoping for a breakthrough.
The second verse takes us to a poignant moment where the singer is alone in the rain, staring into the distance. However, the addressee's presence and touch have made them smile, with tears in their eyes. They wonder if the addressee can see what's happening to them when they say their name and touch their heart. The singer is ready to see with "open eyes" and is asking the addressee to shine their light. The song culminates with the chorus, with urgency and poignancy, where the singer wants the addressee to know that they want to believe in love, and it's all on the line.
In conclusion, 'Believer' is a powerful and emotional song that captures the essence of hope and longing. The song speaks to the human need for connection and the desire to make an emotional commitment. By providing a vulnerable and honest portrayal of wanting to believe in love, Jake has crafted a relatable and enduring song.

Found this song watching the Left Behind movie
TBC119 0119
a question. Will they know the names of the members of this group? Do they have a facebook, instagram, twitter account, etc?
Michael Bowen
This song always brings me back to that fateful night all the way back in 2005 when I was utterly depressed to the point that I wanted to end it all and was absolutely desperate for relief (the only thing keeping me from killing myself was not wanting to hurt my family.) Laying in my bed crying one night I don't even remember what I said however I prayed not expecting a response, BUT to my complete and utter surprise Jesus himself showed up, and in that very instant the physically numbing depression I felt left my body and was replaced with a feeling of being utterly loved and accepted by the living God. Whoever you are I am here to tell you its going to be ok, He IS listening, and he will not judge you or turn his back on you.

“Clear every shadow of doubt in my mind…” The most important part of the song to me. I’ve been a Christian all my life and I’m still overwhelmed by this song.
Michael Bowen
Agreed. I've been a Christian for about 17 years and this song still brings tears to my eyes; actually I think it was one of the first Christian songs I had ever heard.
dschwoeble
I first heard part of this song in the movie Left Behind. I searched for it so I could hear the entire song. I absolutely love it! Thank you so much guys! I am a BELIEVER!
